The Los Angeles Lakers made some big changes this past offseason, and a couple of them marked the end of two of the most controversial players on the team, Nick Young and D’Angelo Russell’s tenure in Los Angeles.

Young signed with the Golden State Warriors as a free agent, and Russell was traded to the Brooklyn Nets along with Timofey Mozgov in exchange for Brook Lopez and the 27th pick in the draft.

Russell is making his return to L.A. Friday night, as the Lakers are set to host the Nets. Although Russell’s former teammate Larry Nance Jr. will not be able to play in the game, he said he is looking forward to Russell’s return.

It will be interesting to see what type of reception Russell received from the crowd at Staples Center Friday night, but one thing that is for sure is he will be looking to have a good game against the team that gave up on him to prove that they made the wrong decision.
